My body can remain so still, alive only in breath, yet my soul swims, drowns, in a sea of troubles. I am the stars, my beauty recognized only postmortem. I am the earth, rejected and scarred by those to whom I have given so much. I am the ocean’s waves, pushed and pushed until I break. I am the wind, I will never be still.

Hamlet
My body can remain so still, alive only in breath, yet my soul swims, drowns, in a sea of troubles. I am the stars, my beauty recognized only postmortem. I am the earth, rejected and scarred by those to whom I have given so much. I am the ocean’s waves, pushed and pushed until I break. I am the wind, I will never be still.
